Come join us as we explore the Soviet Union's bountiful treas- ures and traditions amidst today's "glasnost" and spirit of goodwill. From $3,295 per person from Chicago based on double occupancy

One hundred sixty-five students and local residents paid $5 each to face off in the two-fisted competi- tion, which raised $2,500. Proceeds included Sioo in donations and $1,800 from T-shirt sales. Tomlin, a Navy reservist, has seen firsthand the need for his help on the home front. "A lot of reservists get paid more in the civilian world than they do in the military," he says. "So when they go to war, their fami- lies meet hard times." Tomlin works with the Navy Reserve Center in Topeka to find needy families. He's planning other fund- raisers, which may include a giant garage sale and a benefit concert. He knows the troops appreciate the help. "If we take care of things at home," he says, "they can concentrate on what they're doing."

Leading scorer

The Big Board just got bigger. Not on Wall Street, but at Allen Field House. The new Scoreboard, which tracks the rising stocks of KU teams, fills the lane high above the hardwood. It stands more than 15 feet tall and 20 feet wide, weighs 10,000 pounds and flashes the latest on players' fouls and points. The investment to replace a 15-year- old model was sound, says Floyd Temple, assistant athletic direc- tor. Come summer, Memorial Sta- dium gets a new ticker, too. The price for the pair is $466,000, but Temple promises that decade-long advertising deals insure this market against a crash.

Mari- lyn Clark, a senior librarian at Watson Library's reference desk, last fall boxed up 700 periodicals and books bound for Prague that had been donated by faculty and friends. Clark, who visited the city last May, says the reading matter is long overdue. At the local library, she found only a few dog-eared copies of '20s pop fiction and travel books that apparently had survived the cen- sors. Newer publications, obtained only through international exchanges, were rare.

The non-profit group has raised three houses locally since 1989 and plans two more by summer. Habitat sells the houses to selected families at wholesale cost with no interest payments, then puts the money into new pro- jects. Families promise to invest several hundred hours of "sweat equity" constructing their houses and future Habitat projects. Student volunteers' perspiration puts them in touch with real- world problems, says adviser Kenneth Ratzlaff, Instrumentation Design Laboratory director and adjunct professor of chemistry.

A few drag those mega-tennis shoes that lems? Which ones make a boy's feet look like awkward clubs at the end of spindly shins. Some are clearly boys, others closer to man than boy. Bingham is keenly aware of their passage. "What we have in camp is a bunch of adolescent kids. It is hard going from child to man. It is a confus- ing time. We need to understand that, not condemn them for it." Bingham circulates among the campers and families. He wears shorts this day, but not those God-awful coaching knits. He looks like a dad himself, perhaps more fit than most. He mixes easily, greeting new and familiar faces with the same openness. He's bald on top, tanned, with graying neatly trimmed hair. His nose dominates his face, but it is his eyes that command attention. The coaching staff greets the arrivals in the lobby. During the lulls, they kill time with talk and storytelling. They laugh easily and look comfortable with one another. Many have been on staff before and several played for KU. Bingham had briefed them earlier that day. "Our goal is to give these kids the idea of the need to make improvements. We want them to leave with the desire to improve." Improve is an important word in Bingham's vocabulary. "I

Classic Bingham style: Identify wears a white the flaw, provide the remedy and praise any improvement. It's almost noon and Bingham gathers the 33 players at the mound. The Kansas sun is direct- ly overhead. Even sitting is hot. It takes will and pride (or maybe just youth) to hustle. Hustle is a big word with Bingham. He often reminds the players that jogging is the minimum and that they don't want to do the minimum. He talks quietly to the circle, driving home the ideas behind the mechanical drills. To Dave Bingham, it is the mental conditioning that matters. Learn the fundamental skills, sure, but understand and believe in why you need to catch or throw or hit the ball precisely this way. He does not yell, but he is firm. He can be cutting and some might say cold to those who cross his line, who fail to hustle, especially those who have the talent and are too "cool" to develop it fully. College players say emphatically they do NOT want to be in Bingham's doghouse. No way. The doghouse is dark and large. While the most important thing Bingham can do for a guy is to give him confidence, he says he doesn't simply hand it out to anyone. "They have to earn the right to make mistakes," he says. "There is not just any one way to earn it, but I do ask for a guy to show some hustle. I do ask for a guy to be willing to learn, to place some confidence in me, to trust me. I'm not going to do all the work. "I'll do whatever it takes. I'll lead them through by the hand, even with one foot drag- ging, if only they will try. I want to see them show some faith and trust. My attitude when I encounter resistance is to wonder, If you are so smart, then why do you need me?" He also understands the huge leap of faith
